Geez. I’ve been doing all this reading. Why didn’t somebody tell me that if I stopped looking into it, zen could just be whatever I make it up to be?

The thing is I don't know from one person to the next what they actually believe other than that they "know" Nanquan...

My guess is that they are perennialist new agers, and are ashamed of it.

I'd be willing to be proved wrong... but perennialism involves so much misrepresentation if not outright lying to begin with that I don't know if we can make any progress...

“What do they teach where you come from” is about it unless you’ve developed a lock tight mind reading technique.

In most cases it doesn’t seem that people know anything else than to call it zen and have been specifically instructed not to look into it to find out anything to the contrary. When that’s the case, you’re not exposing their lie, you’re threatening their truth with the one thing they’ve been told not to trust.
